Because your customers shouldn’t have to work harder to work with you.
In the hire industry, speed and simplicity matter. But for many businesses, customers still need to email, call, and wait for manual quotes just to book or off-hire equipment.
It’s frustrating for site managers, creates unnecessary admin for sales teams, and slows down hire controllers who are already juggling multiple jobs.
The truth? Most traditional equipment hire software was designed for internal teams — not the customers.
That’s where Hire HQ Connect steps in.
The Problem: Limited Customer Control Over Hires
In many hire businesses, the process still looks like this:
Browse? Customers rely on a PDF catalogue or a phone call to find out what’s available.
Book? They email their request and wait for someone to manually create a hire order.
Manage? Any changes — off-hires, extensions, or checking what’s on site — mean yet another call or email.
It’s slow, inconvenient, and frustrating for customers. For your team, it creates unnecessary admin, bottlenecks in the hire desk, and less time for revenue-generating work.
